they can not have good roast beef be-
cause they are obliged to buy such small
pieces, and it comes upon the table dry
and overdone. To prevent this the
smaller the piece to be roasted the
higher the temperature to which its
surface should be exposed. 1t should
be crusted, or Drowned, as quickly as
possible, so that the juices within shall
be held there under high pressure. and
only be allowed to escape by bursts and
sputters rather than by steady evapor-
ations. No more fuel need be con-

time to cook.-Chicago News.
We have come to the time when we
must give more attention to the care
and feeding of our fowls than we have
done in the past summer and fall
months. Let us not be guilty of giving
them snow instead.of water, immuring
them within four blank walls without
plenty of sunshine and light. Fowls
require light as well as warmth; with
out it they will not do well; they will
disappoint the keeper, though he may
have fed them literally and judiciously.
A little care in their housing and feed
and favoring in domestic way will
stir maternal instincts into action, and
eggs in increased quantities will result.
